Miranda Freshwater, 20, of Conroe, Texas, died on June 19, 2020 at a residence on the 10320 block of Woodhollow Drive. The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office was initially called with a report of an accidental shooting. A man at the scene, identified as 30-year-old Hector Abiel Cantu, told deputies Miranda had accidentally shot herself while cleaning a friend’s rifle.

Investigators found inconsistencies between Cantu’s accounts and the physical evidence at the scene. Those discrepancies led to Cantu’s arrest on charges of murder and tampering with evidence; the case remains under active investigation.

If anyone saw activity at the Woodhollow Drive residence on June 19, 2020 or has information about Miranda or the individuals present that day, please come forward.
